first day.
Today was my first day of high school as a freshman. And almost anything that could go wrong did.
My locker wouldn't open and there was no one in the office so I could get it fixed. I got lost at least 4 times. And I only sat with one friend [[the whole table was empty except us two]] at lunch cuz my 'bff' said I couldn't sit with her cuz her table was full.
Is there anything I can do to make my second day and the dayss to come any better?

Don't worry. My first day of school was less than glamorous. You'll get your footing quickly as far as your classes go. Within a couple days or so. Be confident, and sit at a new table, or ask your friend to sit with you in advance so the table isn't full.
If your locker completely sucks, ask to transfer to a new one or "set" your locker to the last number for quicker opening.
Talk to a new person, and give a compliment to them.

Just be confident in yourself. If you tell yourself you're going to get lost, you most certainly will. Since I'm assuming you got to all of your classes yesterday, you should now know where they are, and if you don't, don't be afraid to ask a teacher where someone's class is. By the third day, you should be fine. C'mon- you can't possibly get lost EVERY day, and it's perfectly normal to get lost on the first few days. Don't worry about it ;]
I'm sure there were other tables you and your friend could sit at, like with other people. Just ask other people [if there are open seats] if you can sit with them. That's really all there is to it. There aren't any secrets to learning self-confidence other than to just put yourself out there and hope for the best. ;]
As for your best friend- what kind of best friend is she? If she were TRULY your best friend, she would be offering you a seat at her table, and if it were full, she'd start a new table with you. She doesn't sound like a good friend.
As for your locker, it probably didn't open because you were nervous. Just enter your combination at a normal pace, and if you are relaxed about it, it will open fine ;]. Have you ever noticed that the more you're stressed about something, the worse it goes? ;]

Aw, that sucks. Freshman year is never easy. I remember wanting to cry during my first week. The bad news is that the first week is always hard. You don't know where you're going, you can't find your friends...but it gets so much better. By the second week you'll know what you're doing and be a lot more comfortable, I promise.
Don't worry too much about your friends. Use freshman year as your opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. The good thing is that everyone else is new and looking to meet people, too. Do as many activities as you can, and just talk to people. If there's a group activity in class, ask someone you've never talked to if you can be in their group. Obviously still talk to your other friends, but take full advantage of being at a new school.
As for the locker...try going in the morning before school, at lunch, whatever, someone will be there eventually.
I promise things will get better, you just have to wait it out :)
